The status report has been filed in a sealed envelope and the Supreme Court might go through it on January 15 when a bench headed by Justice RM Lodha will hear a bunch of PILs on coalgate.

However, reports, quoting CBI sources, said that the agency has informed the Apex Court that it found no criminality in the allocation of about 60 coal blocks, which are likely to be taken out of the purview of its ongoing probe after taking Court's permission.

Although the agency has analysed the records in detail and concluded there was no criminality involved in the allocation of these coal blocks, a final decision whether to drop them from the ongoing probe would be taken after Supreme Court directives, the sources said.

The sources said 195 coal blocks allocations are being probed out of which in 16 cases CBI has found prima facie material which indicates cheating, criminal misconduct and corruption based on which the agency has registered FIRs.

However, during the analysis of nearly 60 allocations, records were found to be correct and no deviation from the laid down norms and procedures was detected.
